Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1445501A1] A hinge unit 10 comprises a first hinge part 20 for automatically turning a reception section from a folding position to a talking position, and a second hinge part 30 which is operated when the reception section is manually turned. A first hinge member 21 of the first hinge part 20 is non-turnably fitted to a connection cylindrical part 2b of a transmission section and a second hinge member 22 is turnably fitted to a connection cylindrical part 3c of the reception section. A first engagement member 31 of the second hinge part 30 is turnably fitted to the connection cylindrical part 3c, and a second engagement member 32 is turnably fitted to the connection cylindrical part 3c. The second hinge member 22 and the second engagement member 32 are non-turnably connected together. The force of the second hinge part 30 for holding the reception section in the folding position is set to be larger than the turn biasing force of the first hinge part 20 for turn biasing the reception section from the folding position side toward the talking position side. <IMAGE>
